PROJECT PLAN
My project plan consisted of three major steps:
4.1 Step1) My first step would be to collect information and data about the company's existing hardware and software. To visit and inspect the premises, furthermore I would need to make an inventory to determine what would be suitable next step for their organization.
When I visited the premises I did a small survey and noted that they were using ten computers in a Local Area Network Domain based environment connected together through a Router. These computers are comprised of Shuttle workstations see [Shuttle], running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional operating systems, a Fujitsu Siemens Server see [Fujitsu] running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. The hardware configurations are as following:
Figure1. Shuttle workstation
• Shuttle Small form factor CPU's.
• AMD Athlon XP processor.
• Kingston 512 MB DDR RAM
• Seagate 160 GB Hard Disk Drives
• NVidia 64 MB Graphics Card
• Lite-On CD-Writer
• Sony Floppy Drive
• 1 Gigabit Ethernet Adaptor
• Logitech Keyboard
• Logitech Mouse
The server is a Fujitsu Siemens server and has the following hardware specifications:

• Intel Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz processor
• Kingston 3 GB DDR RAM
• 320 GB SATA Hard disk drives
• NVidia 128 MB Graphics Card
• Lite-On DVD Rewriter
• 1 Gigabit Ethernet Adaptors (two in quantity)
• Sony Floppy Drive
• Logitech Keyboard
• Logitech Mouse
4.2 Step 2) After taking the inventory the next step would be to prepare Windows Server 2003 for configuration changes. Following that, the next step was to install ISA Server 2000 and to configure it for VPN.
These steps in great detail are demonstrated and documented in the Appendices A, B, C, D, E and F .
4.3 Step3) To educate the staff about connecting to the VPN. Please [see Appendix G.]
